- Autoimmune disease if, as judged by the investigators, that condition or its treatment has an important impact on S-K values
- Patients who are suspected, on the basis of laboratory data, to have pseudohyperkalemia (abnormality in the sample, a history of severe leukocytopenia or thrombocytopenia)
- Patients with recent traumatic injury
- Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant
- Current participation in a clinical trials, i.e. an interventional studies
